The home was as described with all that was needed for our stay including ample towels for bath and beach. Comfy beds, great AC as well as overhead fans and great outdoor shower for getting off sand.
Very good kitchen supplies. Our only issue was the mildew odor upon entering the house which was perhaps post hurricane but could use some attention.
Owner gave great house directions as well as restaurant recommendations. Hope to come back!

My family and I had a wonderful time at On-A-Whim. Cary was a great host, her place was clean and in a wonderful location. The under house shower and picnic table made coming and going from the beach super easy. We will definitely be back!

All aspects met and exceeded our expectations!
I would say its slightly nicer than what the pictures show!
It is very clean, modern and is in a great location and it's well appointed. There were a few things in play prior tour arrival and the owner helped us and made it seamless.
We hghly recommend and will stay there again the next time we are in Folly.

Location of house to beach and restaurants are great! Walking distance to everything. Nice home.

This was the perfect place for my family. It'd close to the beach as well as the restaurants and shops. Also a a short driver into Charleston. There was a golf cart under the house available to rent. We took advantage as it made it easier to get to the beach and made parking easier at the restaurants. They had pretty much everything you would need to take to the beach. Towels, chairs etc. We would definitely choose to stay here again if we come back to Folly.

We had a wonderful week at On A Whim. Clean, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed. It is definitely a "home away from home" and we'll be returning next year.

House was as listed. Very clean and great location. Our rating is based on a major issues with check in and dealing with the host.
In general: There are many, many rules for the house which she explains there is a need for. They are posted all over. There is a moldy smell downstairs. Both of these are mentioned in other reviews. I will spare you a long story and we know mistakes happen on both parts, but the host was very difficult to deal with.
I would rent the house again, but I would NEVER rent from this host again. She will
most likely have a rude rebuttal toward this review which I fully expect based on the pattern of other reviews. Read all reviews as our experience was similar.

The house was clean and well appointed. The host literally has thought of everything, that a renter would/could possibly need. Would recommend this host and property to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Folly Beach.

I have rented with VRBO for many years and have never stayed in a home with so many rules and guidelines. It made our weekend getaway very stressful...thinking that we might do something wrong.

Cary was great to work with. We had an early start to our travel to get to South Carolina because of the storm coming through. We ended up getting there earlier then our check in time and Cary allowed us to check in. She also kept us informed with any situation that the storm may cause. The house was beautiful and clean. I would stay there again and definitely recommend this rental to other people.

The house is large, clean and we'll equipped and in a great location for walking to the beach and restaurants. The only thing that bothered us a little is a slightly musty smell but overall an excellent stay.

This house was perfect for a friends getaway. The location honestly could not have been better. Easy walk to the beach and an even easier walk to restaurants. Convenient is what we wanted in a vacation rental and that was exactly what we got. Also, Cary had everything that we needed from beach chairs to cooking supplies to plenty of towel.

Very clean, spacious, AIR CONDITIONED, two story Charleston Manor feel near Center street action/eating/shopping and the BEACH! My hubby and 4 kids ages 2-16 had a wonderful family beach trip because of the home and it’s location for easy walking to all we wanted, beach, eats and shops on Folly. We’ve been coming to Folly for 10 years and ON A WHIM is top of our beach stays.

House was very clean and just as described. Close to the beach and to center street. Definitely will look into booking again next year.

Property was well maintained and clean with easy walking access to downtown. Short walk to beach. Private shower under the house was great to keep sand out of the house. Enjoyed the rocking on the front porch. Overall we were very pleased.

Easy booking, easy check in, easy parking and stay. A no-frills, everything-you-need kind of spot. The outdoor shower was amazing. Great location - we worried it may be loud given how close it is to the main strip and the police/fire house, but we had no problems with noise and we got all the advantages of such a central location with good parking. Highly recommend.

The property was carefully designed and maintained. It was fully equipped with everything we needed for meal prep and walks to the beach. Our host was lovely about making everything clear. We really enjoyed this vacation!

Everything was as advertised. It is quiet side street that is well located to the beach. Our teens enjoyed surf lessons and rentals from Isla Surf and the beach chair rentals made to and go a breeze for our older occupants. We enjoyed the stay. Thanks for everything!

This was a great stay in a great area. It was close to the beach and beach restaurants. We had no issues with food options or getting to the beach. It was my family which included btwo toddlers. The house was clean and did not have too many things we had to put away because of toddlers. The parking was okay. The issue was since it was a holiday weekend, there was maybe a lot more partying so parking was very limited even in front of the property. We would definitely stay again. Also beware the mosquitoes, they were everywhere, but not due the property just in general.

On a Whim was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The property was exactly as advertised and the location was perfect. We have fishermen in our family, and the quick walk to the beach was just right for their beginning-of-the-day surf-fishing. The owner gave us all the information we needed to access the property, the amenities, local restaurant suggestions and check-out procedures. The best part for me was that the property was well maintained and clean. These things are important to me. I would stay at this property over and over again, and when I do, I hope it's for a longer stay. Thank you, we had a wonderful time!!

The Flip Side is the perfect place to stay at Folly Beach. The beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the porch each evening. It is a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Thanks for a great vacation!

This is a wonderful house! Our group of friends loved the location and living room set up. We were able to walk everywhere and then hang out in the living room to watch football and enjoy each other's company. Hope to visit again soon!

Location! Cross 3 streets and your toes are in the sand. Blocks on Folly are short, so it was a really easy walk. Less than 1 block to Center and all the restaurants and shopping you could need. Lots of nice amenities in the home provided. Quick and easy to communicate with owners. This is the first property at Folly that we’d for sure consider staying at again!

What a wonderful stay! We couldn't have been happier with this location. The home was clean and well appointed. Whole the signs around the home were a tad alarming, as a home owner, I understood them. Such a shame a host had to do that due to disrespectful guests. As we would in our home, we ensured we kept it clean, and took off our shoes. It keeps sand out, house clean, as well as feet.
We loved sitting on the porch in the afternoons after the beach. The outdoor shower was so wonderful to use after the beach! It was great to have the towels and washing machine for use.
We will definitely look to stay again!

We booked this for a long weekend getaway. Upon check in, we found the house had not been cleaned. It turns out there were a variety of reasons for this. Cary tried to resolve, but given the circumstance, she was not able. Ultimately, she refunded her portion of the rental (She could not refund the VRBO fee and sales tax). This was a fair solution and reflects well on her. The house is a nice house for those interested in a stay a few blocks from the beach, but close to the town. I would expect this would not happen again to Cary.

This home is beautiful, in a great location with close proximity to some bars & restaurants. We loved our stay! Cary was very easy to work with while booking and quick to respond to communication. Beds were very comfortable (always a plus!)

We couldn't have asked for a better property! Cary was super accommodating and the house was in the perfect location. It's right off the main street so its a super close walk to restaurants and the beach but just far enough down so it's still quiet and away from the noise. We ate on Folly a few nights and went into Charleston the other nights, which was an easy drive in. If you go into the Charleston area, I highly recommend the Palmetto sunset boat cruise, Tavern & Table, and Slightly North of Broad. We had great experiences at all 3! On Folly Beach, we were able to rent chairs and umbrellas for a good price so you don't have to worry about buying chairs if you come. Overall, we had the best time and can't wait to come back and visit!

This is a nice property very close proximity of the beach and "downtown" area. The porch was a great place to enjoy the nice weather and catch up on some work before heading out for some fun. The kitchen is well stocked with enough pots, pans, and dishes for a family.
